Oh, for the days when they made blunt and brutal noir
thrillers with names like Get Carter (1971; 2:30 + 7 pm) and Point
Blank (1967; 5 + 9:30 pm). In the former, directed by Mike Hodges,
Michael Caine stars as the title British hood who suspects foul play in his
brother's death and scours the grimy streets of Newcastle in search of remorseless payback.
